“Mary is amazing!!! Excellent Communication: From the start, Mary was a standout with her communication skills. She regularly updated us about our furry friend, sending us cute photos and messages that put our minds at ease. Going Above and Beyond: What really sets Mary apart is her willingness to go the extra mile. We had a couple of unforeseen issues come up at home during our trip, and Mary handled them with such grace and efficiency. It was like having a trusted family member looking after not just our pet but our home too. Reliability and Kindness: Mary's reliability and kindness are evident in how she interacted with our dog, Annie. We returned to a happy and well-cared-for pet, which is the ultimate testament to Mary's exceptional service. Eager for Next Time: We would absolutely love to have Mary dog sit for us again. It’s a real comfort knowing someone so dependable and caring is available to look after our beloved Annie.”
“James was fabulous! Very attentive to my pup and he also sent updates including pictures. He also asked questions to make certain about the care for my pub. James is top notch!”
“Brandy is great! She is very reliable and communicative. I have a large dog who can be a lot to handle around other dogs and she does great with him. Brandy also house sat for me when my dog had a minor injury. She was on top of managing his care and reporting on his progress while I was away--and sent lots of great pictures. To boot, I returned to a very clean house. I highly recommend Brandy!”
“Candy was amazing with our dogs and sent plenty of pictures with updates so we wouldn’t miss them too much. Our dogs were so happy to get walks and love from her and we’d happily book her again next time!”
“I recently booked Marc to take care of my cat. She's definitely a less than friendly feline with strangers, and he was great with her. She requires meds twice a day and he had zero issues getting her taken care of. I'd absolutely recommend Marc to take care of any animal if you need help.”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs my whole life. From playing to taking care of them, I deeply enjoy being surrounded by dogs. They truly love like no other I am a local middle school teacher, so my schedule before and after school are very flexible! I am available before 7:30am, or after 4pm on weekdays. Weekends vary. I’d love to get to know the family and home in which I would be sitting to ensure I know the dos and don'ts the pet already has. I treat all pets as if they were my own.
“Dominique (Domi as she likes to be addressed) did a fantastic job. We asked her to stay all night and day from Friday night until Sunday mid-day. We have 2 little dogs and one had an injured leg that required special attention. Domi took pics of our little ones and sent them to us and kept us informed of how thy were doing. The house was just how we left it. We will absolutely have Domi come back and stay again.”
“Linda was very attentive to Maisie and Oakley! Linda followed their early AM schedule and frequent outs. Lots of love and walks. Great communicator, with daily photos of events and text updates. Initially, Linda was very concerned about some quirks each dog had, but after talking to me, she realized those quirks were no cause for concern. Time away from home flew by and we came back to a peaceful and tidy home! Thank you, Linda!”
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my household. I don’t currently have a pet, and would love to provide care for your pet! I am a retired teacher with a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays and weekends. Pet care works very well in my current situation and lifestyle. Caring for another person’s pet must align with their preferences, routines, and individual needs. I have cared for each of my pets according to their personality and needs, and my vision for discipline and routine.
“Justin was a great and trusted sitter for our boy while we were gone overnight. Took wonderful care of him and was an excellent communicator. Sent us photos and took great care of the house. Cleaned up after himself which was very thoughtful! Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an in home sitter.”
“Emily did an amazing job with our 3 dogs! She kept us updated with pictures and messages. Our pups were well loved while we were gone. She was also sweet enough to change the sheets on the bed before we returned home. We will definitely book again!”

“Yvonne was great! She stayed at the house and took such great care of my fur babies. She even baked cookies for them (and left some yummy cake for us). She made sure to follow the schedule, even took them for walks, played with them, snuggled and gave them lots of love. My house was spotless. She is wonderful. Will definitely book her again in the near future. Thanks Yvonne! We appreciate you so much.”

Thank you, James, so much. Emma and Fitzgerald were well taken care of. He gave our geriatric dog their meds, took them on walks and even dealt with their weim nuances. James followed all our requests and dealt with our neighborhood construction wonderfully. We will definitely be using him in the future.
Tracy did a great job looking after our farm while we were away as per usual. She looks after the dogs especially well as they can sometimes be a somewhat boisterous group but she takes it all in her stride and gives the pets the best care possible and we highly recommend her.
BETTI WAS A WONDERFUL DOG SITTER FOR MY 3 DOGS AND ALSO MY HOME. SHE WATERED PLANTS AND WENT THE EXTRA MILE TO FEED 2 PICKY EATERS - ONE OF WHOM HAS TO BE HAND FED. THEY ALSO GOT THEIR WALKS, WHICH IS A BIG DEAL TO THEM. I KNOW THE DOGS LIKED HER BECAUSE WHEN SHE RETURNED TO PICK UP A FEW THINGS THEY WERE OVERJOYED TO SEE HER. I WOULD USE BETTI AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT.

The average cost of House Sitting in Briggs is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Briggs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Briggs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Briggs choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
